Wow this is a Hot book!
Lots of kinky hot sex scenes. A twist I never saw coming.
Ciara is a tough cookie she has gone through some crap and doesn't trust easily. Ciara seems to be able to trust Nathan right away but has she miss placed her trust. Everything is not what it seems. Fabulous ending and a chapter at the end of the book takes us into Unkindness 2 (due out end of July).
Can't wait to find out more about Caleb!

★★★Unkindness by Andrea Andersson
I was given this R2R in exchange for my honest opinion.
Starts off with
The first 60% or so I was left wondering WTF is going on. I have no real idea how we go from her ending up in some super secret underground bar, to getting a $100,000 a year Personal Assistant job, with a $50,000 raise the next year. Further more the family is so shrouded in secrecy that I have no idea what this job is other that tagging along with the boss, using spy glasses, eating tons of food, getting drunk, and sleeping with the boss. Almost seems like he's turned her into a well paid call girl and she doesn't realize it.
Then you throw in a lot of mystery, with tons of magic, an obsession with nude portraits, and mystical moving murals of half human, half animal creatures in various stages of sex, and it's truly a house of wonders. I really don't think I'd be surprised if he sprouts wings, turns into a raven an flies away.
Eventually I was
And...
Why lie?
Lead me up the metal tree to heaven...
Ok, let me think...
Still..
I think a name or two might be wrong.
So I'm not real sure want I want to rate this.
It is defiantly peaking my interest, but is full of flaws as well. Facts are not lining up well. She will say she hasn't ever done something before, but a few pages prior she was. Or the one that really sticks out is, she just snuck out of the house of wonders and walked home, however a few chapters back, it took at least 15-20 mins zipping around on a freeway in a BMW. So what she just decided to walk for hours home.
The dialogue is so off, it was distracting. I have been noticing this more and more. This takes place in Miami, yet none of it would be common or familiar to most Americans. The main character's family has lived there since 1860, at least. But for some unknown reason, he speaks as an Englishman, accent and all. Sentence structure and tense is also distracting. While you can tell from the story it is past tense, it is wrote in present tense for the most part. All thought that jumps around. Every time I come to, says I, thinks I, me bad, and a handful of others, my mind pauses, which is making reading slow. The use of 'HoHo!' instead of 'Haha' is cracking me up, it's almost like I'm waiting for Santa. It also needs a good editing.
But buried in there, is an intriguing story, that's only just begun to reveal itself.

I got this one when it was on a free promotion...and to be honest I am glad I did because although it was definitely different, I would not have paid for this type of book. It started out strange (the language used was at times very formal and odd, like it had been written centuries ago and then the author would suddenly use very modern slang terms spoken by teenagers) and although I usually like mysterious and dark, it took quite a long time to get to the heart of the story and by then I had almost given up.
I will say that this one had quite a twist and it just threw me for a loop (I won't say what happens but it was pretty shocking and was probably one of the best things about the the story) and by the time things really start to make sense we hit the cliffhanger ending and it will be another "to be continued" series.
I think readers who enjoy books about the occult, witchcraft and other wordly beings will really enjoy it more than I did...the synopsis really didn't lead me to believe it would be what it actually WAS, and I thought I was getting a dark, erotic romance.
I did find the majority of it interesting enough to keep reading but the unusual style of writing just kept putting me off.

What a book, its hot, steamy, sexy as sin. And the twist at the end I did not see that coming at all. You were constantly engaged throughout the book with the constant drama and sexy scenes. Cannot wait for the next book Caleb seems 10 times hotter than Nathan and what drama will unfold in the next book.

One of the most captivating books I have ever read.
This story is unlike anything I have ever read. Old world family, traditions and money mixed in with cult like tendencies. Wow unbelievable. This girl is amazing. She is smart, funny and sarcastic. The inner monologue in this book is so witty and quick some of the best I've ever seen. I love her, I Nathan and I love the banter and undeniable chemistry between them. The level of mindfuckery and plot twists in this book is epic. The sex is hot and I loved everything about this book. I can't wait to see book 2.
